- noonespecial 13y agoIt comes as a bit of a surprise to some, but a huge amount of this kind of "advanced sysadmin" is carried out in perl. The kind of people who use perl like this are generally much more advanced users of perl than the developers of the clumsy cgi's that might have formed your first impressions of perl.
- xb95 13y agoYup. Matt's Script Archive was a long time ago. Modern Perl is about a million times better and easier to use than it used to be. Dancer, Moose, DBIx::Class (a bit more advanced), Plack/PSGI, etc etc. Not to mention the language changes they've made with 5.10/5.12/5.14/etc (I'm in love with the defined-or operator).
